§15-955.
No insurer shall specify the use of non-original equipment
manufacturer aftermarket crash parts in the repair of an insured's
motor vehicle, nor shall a repair facility or installer use
non-original equipment manufacturer aftermarket crash parts to repair
a vehicle, unless the consumer is advised in writing. In all instances
where non-original equipment manufacturer aftermarket crash parts are
intended for use by an insurer:
1. the written estimate shall clearly identify each such part; and
2. a disclosure document containing substantially the following
information in ten-point type or larger type shall appear on or be
attached to the insured's copy of the estimate: "This estimate has
been prepared based on the use of crash parts supplied by a source
other than the manufacturer of your motor vehicle. Warranties
applicable to these replacement parts are provided by the manufacturer
or distributor of these parts rather than the manufacturer of your
vehicle."
